And I'm sure Izzy was offered the job. But let's be serious: there's no way he'd pull off a tour or even Coachella.

The man is quite happy not being in the spotlight.

Good lord.

There is no way that Slash will split solo duties with Forteuss.

"Hey Richard, you should play this solo which I write twenty years ago, while I stand here off to the side."

nuGNR apologists are fucking ridiculous.

Paul Tobias is the absolute most embarrassing thing that ever happened to GNR.

On one hand, you have Slash, an icon who earned that title.

And then Axl makes a demand of Slash: this guy Pula Toblias is your equal, Salsh. He will write your music. You must seek his approval and collaboration.

Now imagine if Axl made that demand now, what with Axl being a fat whale who can't sing and Plua Toblias having become a complete absolute zero in the world of music.

I wonder just how scared Slash got when Axl suddenly canceled on the Kimmel show. You know he's gotta be so worried about Axl's behavior.

I think Slash is probably very anxious about Axl's behavior. Slash has developed into one freaking professional musician, and he runs his business very well. Duff, too.

I'm guessing here are all sorts of legal contracts in place which will protect Duff and Slash from any bullshit that Axl may pull.

They definitely have NOT "joined" GNR. They've likely contracted under very favorable terms to perform shows with GNR, which is still owned by Axl.

I mean, who cares?

I have some broken friendships in my past, and honestly, if some of those people came back, I'd say "fuck it" and just pick up right where we left off, no discussion or apologies needed.

did you guys already think about it?? I mean, we're going to see Slash performing November Rain again... It's UNBELIEVABLE

Curious to see if he can jump on the piano like the old days.

They should install one of those automatic lifts for wheelchairs next to the piano

The most interesting part of all this is to see if Axl can pull it off, or if he'll be the weakest link. He's fared the worst by FAR out of the Big Three, in terms of musicianship and professionalism.

Perhaps Slash and Duff can inspire Axl to become a musician again.

Have you guys noticed?

Duff tagged the Coachella pic with Izzy, Adler, and Sorum.

DUFF TAGGED THEM.

I literally just got a boner

It's funny-- so did I.

Well. I'm so glad to be proven wrong!

My buddies and I have already set aside a couple hundred bucks to see GNR when they come to NYC

I laughed at those who paid for a membership. Then they laughed at me-- even though I still was laughing.

And I'm still laughing. Man, that family Axl adopted is just sodomizing you fanboys.

And some of you ridiculed me for saying Axl will never pull his shit together.

And this is absolute damage control. Axl was booked. It was on the website. Kümmel followed Axl on Twitter.

Axl canceled. He flaked. He's a fucking waste of everything.

Again, I just don't see a "reunion" tour ever getting off the ground, strictly due to Axl's total inability to work. He's sitting on a pile of money made from a few years in his youth, and it's just too easy for him to sit on his fat ass eating Taco Bell all day instead of, you know, working.

Work is hard

Thread title has been changed. So this is officially off?

I called it!

"Due to the aspirations and schisms of so-called parasites n' snakes in the purview of time, with no regard to how these guys are playing the shit out of the old material, not to mention certain supporters and what's been said in the press n' industry, with respect to how we've worked so hard, I just can't see doing the show. I mean, what is a "Jimmy Kimmel" anyway? I don't see any real purpose n' who is benefiting, but not without the lawsuits n' time."

Why play "dangerous" rock music when instead you can eat cheesy gorditas on your couch all day?

Alas. I feared Axl would completely shit out on this one.

Axl should be asked if he knows a cure for cancer.

Axl will trudge onstage looking identical to the fat, washed-out, lazy, man-baby he has become, except without the idiotic porn-stache.

He'll answer a few words about how he and Salsh are now cool, and then he'll announce that they're playing Coachella and "looking at a few touring options."

Coachella lineup:

Axl

Slash

Fortruss

Duff

Dizzy

Pitman

Frank

They'll play pretty much the Vegas setlist. Nothing from Slash's solo work or VR. Axl will sound weaker than ever and look fatter than ever.

Yes, they'll play ChiDem songs. The show will open with WTTJ and close with PC. Big surprise.

Btw this show is on broadcast ABC, right? Time to install an antenna on my tv. All I have is Netflix.

Maybe they will interview him via Skype while Slash and Axl are sitting in a studio!

Yeah. Ok. And Slash and Axl will be calling in from a cabin where they're staying together, because they're "blood brothers" and best friends FOREVER.

why interview with Axl isn't scheduled too?

Because he's probably not being interviewed. Its probably a walk on appearance, to announce the reunion. Its a bit/video segment/10 minute part of the show they devote to something that isn't the monologue or the celebrity interviews or the musical performance.

I've never seen such a thing on Jimmy Kimmel's show.

I remain skeptical. I would love to be proven wrong, but I'm not saving up my pennies just yet.

I've been saying this all along, and I still hold to it: I don't think this is a reunion of Axl and slash.

I think this is a new business partnership between them, which will result in lots of new cash grab licensing deals, but nothing in terms of live performance.

Not even possible at this point. NOT ALL THE PRESS IS WRONG! Its definitely a reunion. You had reason to believe this a few months ago, but not now. Its just plain delusion to think its not happening now.

But the press is just going in circles. One article will say "there's speculation", referring to us at the forums, and then the next article will report it as fact, and so on.

There hasn't been one official word from anyone legit, in terms of Axl Slash and Duff going on tour together. Not ONE word.

I've been following this band too long and too closely to have any expectation of sanity from Axl Rose. I loved what he contributed to AFD, Lies, and UYI-- but I don't worship his urine or eat his poop with a smile on my face, so what I see is the Golden Gods and Bridge School videos and see a fat, lazy, weak-willed man-baby. I don't see a savvy man who would do something as logical as getting back together with Slash and Duff for a worldwide tour.

So whats he going on Kimmel for? To announce Slash and his' new line of Guns N' Roses tshirts? Gimme a break.

But he's not on this week's schedule. Go see for yourself at the website.
